In a world broken by war, a team of young warriors is willing to sacrifice everything to save what they love.
Is he a spy from the Federation? Or could he be the weapon that will save them all?.
But when a mysterious prisoner is brought from the front, Talin senses there\'s more to him than meets the eye.
She finds comfort only with a handful of fellow Strikers who have pledged their lives to one another and who are determined to push Karensa back at all costs.
Their cruelty forced her and her mother to seek asylum in a country that considers their people repugnant.
Robbed of her voice and home, Talin Kanami knows firsthand the brutality of the Federation.
Still, one Striker refuses to give up hope.
But as the number of Ghosts grows and Karensa closes in, defeat seems inevitable.
The legendary Strikers, Mara\'s elite fighting force, are trained to stop them.
Refugees flee to its borders to escape a fate worse than death--transformation into mutant war beasts known as Ghosts, creatures the Federation then sends to attack Mara.
The Karensa Federation has conquered a dozen countries, leaving Mara as one of the last free nations in the world.
